Hey Raafi, Oversampling is actually a quite interesting procedure as you already noticed.

A Bayern sensor bit depth is very hard to understand. For luminance we founded the log curve, most cameras dont have higher adc than 12 bit which basically doesn’t lead to a higher patch range than 14-15 and effective dr of 11.8 or something with a proper…[Read more]

Hey just checking in here ( alittle late) FOR SCANNING lines I advice to do a blackbalance, most of the lines will dissapear, if not, your sensor might need a recalibration. If you ever run into thes issues report them in our Kinefinity camera service fb, with  a little downloadable clip and a slate file and we will check if its normal or if it…[Read more]

Hey Raafi, in your example of changing the hs sensativity, you could also dialed in a other lut which pushes the images brighter, so you would close down your aperture to compensate for the increasement in the mid. By doing so you would ettl, but without the fuzz of dialing in hs in the menu, and without the fuzz f the image degradation which…[Read more]

Not to spoil anyones party 🙂 But I would anyone endorse to keep the HS on the factory setting and only use ntive isos. Its simply the best DR , If you want to map your hightlights vs shadows differently either use cine ei, or my ETTL luts. The HS setting is a designer mode, which basically ramps down the analogue gain (iso)( and pushes the…[Read more]

Please notice that with the introduction of the Mavo Edge Kinefinity will start using new recording media based on m2. With these cards a card reader is not needed only a standard usb cable (type c) .

Hey the Kinemon5u has a very low power consumption and can be used in bright daylight, it only uses one cable (both power and video), it barely gets hot, and is only 15 wh. The good thing about the cable is that its LEMO so extremely durable, so no fiddling with hdmi, or broken sdi cables. Besides that using this ‘data cable’ means that latency…[Read more]

Hey Raafi, old bottle new wine 🙂 I would say use ettl luts, because highlight setting, is a fake setting and doesnt yield the same results as keeping them default and simply ettl, with exposure luts. But yes I agree, theres no banding, in the footage theres just some clipping happening, Theres maybe a total of 6 stops dr in this scene, so you…[Read more]

Hey  Guys, not to spoil this RAW party! But lets be real there are no image quality advantages over Prores444 when working with raw. The only thing that Raw does about raw is being smaller potentially than prores444 while staying around the ‘visual losless’  mark. Another downside is that you cannot downsample raw in camera (yes the sigma FP d…[Read more]
